I have severe problems with some of my VMWare Workstation Pro virtual machines.
When I create a Virtual machine within the current installation/version of VMWare Workstation running on Ubuntu I can boot them without problems.
However when I try to boot a VM which have not been created with this version of VMWare I get the message "Waiting for connection".
My notebook is dual-boot. The problem occurs only when Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is running. When I boot Windows 10 Pro I can use with VM without any problems.
The VM is located on a NTFS drive. I can use this drive from Linux as well from Windows.
I tried also to make a OVF file from the VM and then import the VM into VMWare Workstation. The problem still exists.
It doesn matter which OS the VM is running. I have Windows and Linux VM's. Problem is the same.
Any idea what is wrong?
Cheers,
Karl
